Candy Cane Park (also known as Hatchet Park) in La Grande, Oregon, is reportedly haunted by a ghostly woman who was killed there years ago. Legend says this spirit is known for interfering with the merry-go-round, which has since been removed. Visitors and locals claim to still feel her presence, with some reporting sightings or activity, particularly around the park's benches. The primary legend describes a female ghost haunting the park. She was said to push riders off the merry-go-round or make it spin erratically. While the merry-go-round is gone, the ghost is believed to remain, with some reports of activity around the park benches.
